There are quite simply too many wonderful ways in which to use our recently made homespun fabric. In today’s post, I thought I would show you how I have incorporated the material in my journal. By chance my homemade journal has evolved into a visual representation of my time since March 2020. I’ve stuck to […]
In my way with words, I must convey to you the excitement I felt making today’s craft. By chance I fell across the Pinterest pin for this – another serendipitous moment for sure. Imagine a plethora of fabric snippets destined for not a great deal else other than perhaps the stuffing in a pillow. Now […]
Wonky is good I have decided. Recently my attention was drawn to Belle’s bunting in an Instagram post. The bunting was indeed wonky. I immediately set about straightening it because why wouldn’t you if it were lop-sided and had been pointed out to you. Then I began noticing frequent wonky in my world and set […]
Oh welcome back, I have missed you and I do believe there may be a few new members to our all-inclusive club too and so to you I say a very warm welcome and hello from us all. I am so glad you are here and I hope you are ready to join in with […]
I recently met with my wonderful friend Helen, who you may know from the beautiful home and garden Instagram account @home_to_roost.

I once read in this book, all scraps of material should be kept for future projects, no matter the size. And I also recall similar conversations taking place amongst creatives I have met on workshops in the past. I have an old cardboard box the M children used many moons ago in my craft cupboard […]
A very happy New Year everyone and welcome back to this my first post of a new decade on my blog. I hope you all enjoyed a wonderful period of rest and relaxation (if that were possible) and as many of you remained well during a time where the lurgies are often in abundance. The […]
I have a Bonne Maman jar addiction. There we go I’ve committed it to the written word. No going back now and by way of proof, I toted up the current number in my arsenal before writing this post. 47. Which is probably just plain greedy. Some with red lids and many with green. And […]
It was as I prepared for a summer break with Mr M earlier this year I announced “I’m not going to buy any new clothes for a whole year starting from now.” The date was Monday 17th June 2019 and we were about to board a plane to a hot country. Please note: I also […]
